A cash donation of $10,000 from an individual donor in Ontario will generate a tax credit of 40.16 to 44.16% donation tax credit which will save $4,401 to $4,416 in taxes depending on the donor’s income. Note provincial surtaxes (if applicable) are also reduced by the donation tax credit thus further increasing the donor’s tax savings.
